Helen, After the comments I am now going to make I am going off to think about what I think about divination. First I'm going to wonder about the real meaning of divination. Second, I've looked into aspects of Runes casting and the Ogham. I've found the latter pretty difficult to get my mind round. ...

Hi Morwenn, I went for a loose leaf "binder". Not the ring binder from Tesco, I tried to put a little bit of craftsmanship into it. The covers are wooden boards made from a special tree and held together with fine leather, the pages are made from a rather fancy, heavy paper (vellum would b...

Well .... I suppose I have an affinity for crows, (and other members of the Corvus family). If I'm in the garden there is one that flies down and struts around. Maybe it is waiting for me to stir up some wriggling titbit but I like to think that if it could talk it would share a few words of its wis...

Belated Beltane greetings to you all. Have been out of computer contact for a few days.

Now, there was a buzzard lurking about 100 metres away, not in my garden so it didn...

Hi Hazel, I was really interested in what you had to say above. I'm not a medical doctor, I've a doctorate in engineering (boast, boast) but my son is a medical lecturer, daughter in law a GP and father in law (now in the summerlands) was a consultant physician. Father in law had no time for all thi...

Imbolc bessings to you all, Our, so far, mild winter means that we have snow drops and even , amazingly for the east of Scotland, buds on some daffodils. Other stuff is nudging itself awake but I am afraid that we are in for a cold spell and that will slow everything up. So I spent the day protectin...
